Can Big Brown Do It?

[rdunn12]

Any of you guys follow horse racing?Can Big Brown win the Triple Crown?Two hours till race time what do you guys think?

 

[maxwell_smart007]

Barry Bonds and Big Brown both have the same initials...and they also have another thing in common - steroids...

So yes, I think he'll win, but no, I don't think it should be recorded as a Triple Crown unless there's an asterisk!

I am watching the show on tv right now. Steriods are legal in most states for horses, so not a problem. I think he will win in a big way. He is a outstanding horse, as he showed in the Preakness.

Yes he will win. The jockey on him is from my home town right here in Maurice La. He is a hall of fame jockey this will only solidify this for him plus he is a really super person.

Guess not!

 

[rdunn12]

nope,what happened there?

He had a bad day, I love the ponies. I knew he could not do it my friend wanted to bet me but would not give up the right odds.It was a great race to bet on as long as Big Brown didn't win you could make some real money, $3,700 for the trifecta nice pay day. I would have bet about every exacta you could without Big Brown in it that paid I forget $600-800.I get fired just talking about the ponies. He will have to run in the Breeders now as his value went down by a 100 million or so over his life time, probably more then that. One day I'll make it down to the Kentucky Derby for a weekend of good times, who on the IAP has a bed near by for me,LOL. Victor

The TV photos of Big Brown rearing, bucking and generally beating himself up in the Security Barn prior to the race were a dead giveaway that something was wrong with this horse. And his idiot druggie trainer guaranteeing a win on the way to the paddock was the clincher. I would have put every dime in my pocket on other parlays today.

Lou, I have a sign with that exact quote in our barn. I love it.

 

[monkeynutz]

Reports this morning are quoting the dipshiit trainer as placing the blame on the jockey (who happened to be in the jockeys' locker room while Big Brown was tearing up the barn before the race). I think ownership should bring back the hoof specialist to put a patch over Dutrow's mouth. What an ass...

First race not on steroids and he fizzles out.
Not proof of anything but sure looks strange.

 

[rdunn12]

I agree with Frank on that.
